Sacha is fantastic, helpful and polite. Carl Freeman2025-01-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Some background. As a relatively new Tour Manager supporting The Myth, a Birmingham based band one of my duties is to take them to gigs in my estate car. Five days before their Brighton gig, my car went in to have new tyres. The garage inadvertently caused some damage that they offered to put right at their expense but it needed a part. Short version, just after 3pm the day before I needed to pick the guys up and drive to the South Coast, I got a call to say the part still hadn’t arrived. They accepted my request that they cover the cost of alternative vehicle hire. Thankfully Google gave me PFB Self Drive as one of the options and even better, the phone was answered by Daniel. He was so incredibly helpful. Though I can testify all the other staff there are great too. They had a six seater crew van available. And what a lifesaver that was! I arranged to collect the vehicle early the next morning. I was given very clear travel directions on public transport (it literally is a three minute walk from Tyseley rail station) and told what to bring. The vehicle itself (a 71 plate) was in near immaculate condition and there was enough fuel that I didn’t have to fill up round the corner. How was it? It more than met our needs. The band felt like rock stars. The load space swallowed all our kit and our overnight bags with more than enough room to spare. And no one ended up with blisters on their shoulders (there was so much passenger space they weren’t pressed up against each other as they usually are). And it drove beautifully. Check in after the hire was a breeze too. I’ve a feeling we’ll be calling on PFB again! Ali Ahmed2024-10-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Flawless rental experience by a first time van renter. All questions were answered and the process of picking up and returning the van was very quick and smooth. Would use again.
